Can I OC

[computermaineack]

I don't think I can OC with my comp (specs below)...right? I'm using a stock mobo from Dell, and I don't think I can 'fine tune' it enough.

I couldn't find any bios pictures from that board. However I believe that Dell do lock all their settings.

Yep, you cant overclock with a dell (Not in the BIOS at least, there are some windows based programs, but the O/C resets after a restart etc.)

yea you'd be better off upgrading or building a new one... that system's not outdated for anything but gaming really though... if you need performance i suggest a new rig rather than o/cing.

I don't have the money to build/buy a top-of-the-line gaming PC .

you cant OC if you have a pre built comp. the BIOS are locked when you buy a computer. you only can OC when you build a computer

You are so wrong.

There are programs such as Clockgen, CoolCPU and CoolFSB which give the possiblity of being able to OC a prebuilt PC.

So, with my hardware, I could OC with a program, like those you mentioned?

if you can find soft that supports your mobo, still not likely.
